Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The point of the first meeting is to get the officials and get to what is the program, and that's an educational program. That's not the point of the debate. We can ask some questions, and that's fine. But it's not a point of getting into debate about this side or that side. It's a starting point from the Government of Canada, which, like it or not, is us. But it's a starting point where everybody can be on the same playing field.
Obviously, at meetings after that we're going to hear from stakeholders on all sides of the issue for as long as we want to take. This is not to cut that off at all. It's just a starting point that is simple common sense.
